    I’m not even American but how would you even prove that? (eg. Not buying certain products…?)

      The title is misleading. It bans state contractors from boycotting Israel, so there can be a certain amount of checking up.

        Ah, I see.

        US headlines are often misleading internationally so that helps!

        (of course one could read each article but thats hardly possible in total)

      Don’t put words in the mouth of the law. We have something similar in TX. If you are a government employee you have to agree not to “boycott Israel”. It doesn’t say boycott Israeli products or companies. It says “boycott Israel” itself, so you just can’t say that you’ll never travel there.

        Why me? I reached to the (it seems wrongly worded) news.

        Try to be a bit more open minded to foreigners’ questions please.

          It wasn’t meant as a slight to you. It was more a comment on how they worded the law.

          Kind of like how the news will turn trumps ramblings into coherent thoughts. We shouldn’t modify the language of poorly written laws to make sense of them. That hurts the people governed by them.

    They’d have to shoot me and force my dead body to eat anything touched by an Israeli. Fuck Arkansas.

      See, this is where the vitriol crosses the line into wrong. Oppose the genocide, speak out against Zionism. But when you start saying shit like this, you’re just as wrong as anyone who says they dont trust, say, Black people to handle their food.

        You are nuts, comparing black people to the illegal invaders of the Palestinian territory.

            Why come up with such a dumb example? Any penny that goes to any illegal occupier ends up in the war chest. The bombs and bullets have your name written in blood on them if you support the illegal occupiers of the Palestinian territory in any way. As far as I know, buying from black people doesn’t contribute to the genocide of Palestinian people. It’s used to build and empower communities. So yea it’s dumb, and the previous poster is wrong. Personally I think any boycott should include anything that has Zionist Jews involved. That’s includes movies with an occupier like Gal Gadot.

                Tell me what’s antisemitism about it? Israeli are people, not religious groups. Above all, I don’t acknowledge Israel personally, that’s why I keep saying illegal occupation/invasion of the Palestinian Territories. Zionist Jews are basically Israeli people. I never said I don’t support all Jewish people. Non-Zionist Jewish people are not a problem at all. Way to go, white knights like you, who shout “BuT aNtI-sEmItISm” all the time are a huge part of the problem.

          No you’re just stupid or intentionally misunderstanding because either you’re a troll or your argument is so backwards and rotten that you can’t refute the point with anything legitimate

      What’s wrong with my Israeli friend who moved out of Israel 15 years ago and attends pro-Palestine protests?

        He’s not your Israeli friend then. He’s the same from whichever country you came from. He’s okay.
